Hello everyone,

one week after the other passes by so quickly — so here I am again with another DevOps Diary. Today I am posting one day early since there are so many cool events starting today!

Quick reminder, if you are interested in collaborating on a DevOps Learning Group, I would love to hear from you!

Videos 🎥

• Hear from fatherlinux i.e. Scott McCarty on Linux Containers in this 7 part series
• Marcia Villalba is hosting live AWS office hours around CEST lunchtime — the last one covered serverless with Gunnar Grosch, so check it out if you have some time.

Blog Posts 🗞️

• Learn how to navigate the complexity of Kubernetes with Helm
• Three different ways to manage your Helm Chart and which one might be the best for you
• If you are learning/wanting to learn about Serverless, Serverless Land has lots of great blog posts and video content
• There are several cases, in which you might not want to use Docker — get Dockerless by mkdev.me

Reminder that I am keeping all of my notes in a public Notion page 👀

Communities 👥

If you are just getting started in DevOps, then Cloud Lunch And Learn provide great talks that you can listen to during your lunch break — the first meeting took place last week.

Their next event is also going to be about Serverless on the 16th of November with Cedric Steenbeke.

Pro-Tip 💡

It is ok to skip through content. If you are halfway through a video, or book and you realise there might be resources better suited for what you are looking for and your level of expertise, it is ok to not finish the resource.

A lot of times, we feel in some way obliged to keep giving our attention. Your time and attention is probably your scarcest resource — spend it wisely.

The beauty of free and open-source content is that skipping content not involved with much opportunity cost.
